Open Data pioneers

KnowNow have been recognised by the Open Data Institute as Open Data pioneers. Our Flood Event Model was developed solely with Open Data sources and still achieves 85% accuracy in predicting where emergency resources should be deployed in during extreme weather conditions.

The growth of rapid development frameworks such as IBM’s Bluemix enable you to quickly prototype services that make use of this open data. It is pleasing to note that more and more cities, companies and individuals are making their data more open as this provides an opportunity for everyone to develop further innovative smart services from which we all can benefit.

The idea of breaking something and fixing it, learning about functionality whilst looking to adapt and improve has always appealed to me. I've brought this idea to KnowNow Information so we can look to help you to improve on your data management.
